I'm with the others, I don't follow a meal plan per se, that's far to hard (for me) to maintain over a long period. What I have done over the past year is eat by my meter. I test before and two hours after each meal, that way I have learned how various foods affect my BG levels and this enables me decide what to eat, what to eat sparingly and what to avoid. I find this gives me a more "normal" approach to the eating side of life.

Like Ed, I strive to be aware of the number of carbs I have in a meal and I try to keep the number of carbs relatively low or at the very least balanced with fiber.
